Default Auto Configure Outlook (PRF)

Yes, you could do that, but it would mean Outlook would launch on startup, which may not be what you want.

okay did not know that...

Is there a way to put outlook.exe /importprf
"\\MYServer\OUTLOOKProfileAutoSetup\CRTOutLook .PRF

Into a log script so when a new user logs into the computer it will setup
the email automatically? thanks

Hello,

I was trying to follow instructions on how to auto-configure Outlook2003.
What i would like to do is if a computer needs to moves desks, have there
email automatically get setup.

I've created a PRF with CIW, If i log onto a fresh comp , and go to command
prompt and cd all the way to C:\program files\microsoft office\office11 and
then type outlook.exe /importprf
"\\MYServer\OUTLOOKProfileAutoSetup\CRTOutLook .PRF outllook sets it self up
fine.

Now what i then tried was using CIW to remove the following reg entries
Delete the following registry key values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\O utlook\Setup\First-Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\O utlook\Setup\FirstRun
And Adding
In the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\O utlook\Setup
subkey, set the value of ImportPRF to a string value that specifies the name
and path of the PRF file. For example, set ImportPRF to
\\MYServer\OUTLOOKProfileAutoSetup\CRTOutLook.PRF

But when i log in and double click outllook it does not config it.


Hope this makes sense ...any ideas
